The Giant Contribution of Naushad Ali
Indian classical music is made up of Ragas, which are melodic frameworks for improvisation. Each Raga is an array of structures with musical motifs which have the ability to invoke emotions akin to the time of the day, seasons and occasions. A Raga consists of at least five notes, and each Raga provides the musician with a framework within which to improvise. This musical form is a result of centuries of work behind it, right from the Vedic era.
